"@bathtoob30 @cryptoquick You can get inbound liquidity from the Blixt LSP for very little sats. Like less than a dollar's worth of Bitcoin. Zeus LSP is also quite affordable I'm not sure what point you're trying to make"

"@a9920241011 @callebtc Notice that I'm not implying that filters have to be perfect. I'll admit that they work the second they stop me from making a non standard OP_RETURN. Hasn't happened yet"

"@a9920241011 @callebtc Also the consequence of email filters is that it's now significantly harder to host your own email server lest your emails all get filtered by someone who happens to have a Gmail account. That's a tragedy that I hope never happens to Bitcoin"

"@barackomaba @janrothen @AsherHopp It not being confirmed isn't a filter working it's just standard filter markets at work. If I make a [--] s/vB tx while the mempool averages [--] s/vB you'd see the same thing regardless of if the txn's purpose is monetary or data embedding"

"@b99210890178826 @a9920241011 @callebtc Ask any court if they care about if you relay the tx before inclusion or after. I don't think any boomer judge knows the difference. If you're so scared why do you run a node at all Bitcoin's chain already has CSAM on it"

"@b99210890178826 @a9920241011 @callebtc Resistance is a tantrum if it results in zero measurable change in outcomes. Humans are bad at recognizing when they have no power or control over something. They'd rather believe in a fictitious good vs bad fight than acknowledge the very nature of permissionless systems"

"@stacksatsceo @PakoVM I think that it makes sense to relate filters in Bitcoin to air filters. I buy the latter to keep dust and allergens out of the air. If I bought one that failed to do this I would consider it to be ineffective and throw it out or stop using it"

"@stacksatsceo @benthecarman Policy is an extremely bad way to discourage txs. Miners are willing to mine anything that's consensus valid. That combined with the fact that you can get a tx to miners via any permissible relay network = filters don't work"
